Finn Wolfhard Says Stranger Things 5 Ending Is Both Happy and Sad

During a recent interview with People magazine, Wolfhard revealed that he is happy with his character’s ending but also sad and confused. He said,

“I was so happy with his ending, and I don’t know, I was satisfied, but I was also very confused and sad, but also very happy. I felt like I was in a dream or something. None of it felt real. I don’t know, it felt perfect.”

The actor also reflected on filming the last scene for the final season, describing it as an emotional rollercoaster.

“I just couldn’t believe it at all. It didn’t really start to go into focus until the next day. It was like an emotional hangover. But it ended really well, and I just have such positive things to say about everyone. The cast all stayed for the last day, we were all there together. It was really great to be around each other.”

Previously, Wolfhard opened up about the intense pressure that came with the show’s success. He also wished that he had gone to therapy after season 1 aired.
